Chapter 296: 100,000 Enemy Troops, Crisis Coming! (Ask for a subscription!) )
After the communication soldier finished speaking, Yang Jing immediately ended his speech, ran down from the general platform, and asked, "What information?" ”
"The Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army is sent from Huoqiu County!" When the communication soldier came to Yang Jing, he first saluted, and then stretched out his hands and handed a telegram to Yang Jing.
Yang Jing took it and looked at it, and immediately frowned.
"The little devil is actually massing troops in Hefei?" Yang Jing muttered to himself, and then turned his head to Ma Tong on the side and said, "Ma Tong! Inform the battalion commanders and the commanders of the companies directly under them to immediately go to the regimental headquarters for a meeting and tell them that there is an urgent military situation! ”
"Yes!"
Ma Tong suddenly complied, and immediately left with several brothers from the guard company.
Yang Jing gave a simple explanation, ordered the company commanders to lead their troops to continue training, and then urgently returned to the regimental headquarters located in the city.
Subsequently, Yang Jing immediately sent a telegram to the headquarters of the commander of the Fifth Theater through the radio station.
Nominally, the battle sequence of the Tiger Regiment is still part of the Fifth War Zone.
At the same time, Yang Jing also hoped to get some useful information from them.
This is because, on the whole, the intelligence network of the Kuomintang is much stronger than that of the underground party organizations.
Not long after the telegram was sent, Yang Jing received a call back from the Fifth War Zone.
At that time, General Li Delin had already gone to Wuhan to report on his work, so General Bai Jiansheng temporarily assumed the command of the Fifth Theater.
Bai Jiansheng greatly admired Yang Jing's strategic vision and tactical command ability.
Therefore, in the reply to the Tiger Regiment, he not only confirmed that the information of the Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army was completely true, but also shared the information known to Yang Jing by the Fifth Theater Commander's Department.
Holding the telegram, Yang Jing frowned and said: "100,000 troops were dispatched, it seems that the little devil is really anxious this time!" ”
At this time, Bi Yuntao, Fan Tietou, Chen Lin, Liu Yue, Rake Er, and Long Yun and others all received notices one after another and rushed over.
Fan Tietou was in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked directly: "Tuanzuo, what happened, why are you in such a hurry?" ”
Yang Jing said with a solemn face: "I just got reliable information, after this period of rest, the Japanese army should be ready to attack Wuhan!"
In addition, they also gathered 100,000 troops in the Hefei area, if nothing else, it should be for us! ”
"I'm good! 100,000 troops? Fan Tietou was taken aback: "The little devil's hand is too big, right?" While attacking Wuhan, they actually gathered so many troops to deal with us! ”
The 3rd battalion commander Chen Lin was not afraid, but showed a proud expression and said: "That means that our tiger and the bull will make the little devil spare no effort to send so many troops to encircle and suppress!"
Otherwise, if you change to other armies, you don't want this treatment yet! ”
Ma Haifeng, the chief of staff who had just recovered from a serious injury, was calmer, he picked up a baton and walked to the combat map, pointed to the map and analyzed: "In my opinion, the little devils gathered 10 armies in Hefei, not just to destroy us.
Instead, it shoulders two strategic objectives, the first is to destroy us, and the New Fourth Army troops entrenched in the Dabie Mountain area.
Second: along the northern foot of Dabie Mountain, cross Dabie Mountain, and capture Huangchuan, Luoshan, and Xinyang, which are important towns in southern Henan!
Finally, he united with the main force of the Japanese army in North China to go out of Wusheng Pass and attack Wuhan along the Pinghan Railway! ”
Yang Jing nodded approvingly, and cast an approving look at him.
After this period of careful cultivation, Ma Haifeng's strategic vision has been greatly improved.
Because historically, that's exactly what little devils did.
It's just that the time is a little earlier, and the number of troops invested is also smaller.
Historically, the Japanese army only invested 400,000 troops, and the offensive route was also divided into three routes, one of which cooperated with the naval fleet to trace the west along the north and south banks of the Yangtze River.
The second route was dominated by the Japanese army in North China, from the Central Plains, along the Pinghan Railway Line from north to south.
This last way is to go out of Hefei and capture Lu'an, Huoqiu, and Jinzhai first. Then cross the Dabie Mountain, capture the mall, Huangchuan, and Xinyang, and then join forces with the Japanese army in North China, along the Pinghan Railway south out of Wusheng Pass, capture Suizhou, Xiaogan.
In the end, the main force of the Japanese army in Central China, which advanced west with Shuo Xi, will attack Wuhan.
At the same time, the purpose of this division of troops was also to contain and disperse the strength of the Chinese defenders in the Battle of Wuhan.
And then use its powerful ground-to-air firepower to break them down.
"No matter what the purpose of this Japanese army is, one thing is certain, it is coming at us!" Yang Jing sat down and said, "So, we must be ready for war as soon as possible!" ”
"Tuanza, if the devil really dispatches an army of 100,000, with our Tiger Regiment, even with the assistance of the New Fourth Army, it will definitely not be able to resist!" Bi Yuntao frowned and said, "So, we have to think of a perfect plan!" ”
"Yes, although our Tiger Ben Regiment has just completed its expansion, more than half of them are recruits who have never been on the battlefield. Moreover, they have only been in the army for less than a month, and all kinds of basic training have not yet been completed, and their combat effectiveness is not strong! Ma Haifeng nodded and agreed: "So, I think it's better to avoid the edge for the time being!" ”
Yang Jing thought for a while and said: "Although the little devil has 100,000 heavy soldiers, the national government will definitely not sit idly by and watch the little devil take the mall and Huangchuan lightly, and threaten Xinyang and Wushengguan!"
So, we're not alone! ”
After a pause, Yang Jing continued: "Of course, even if there are no reinforcements to fight side by side with friendly troops!
We can also take the method of breaking the whole into parts, and use this vast Dabie Mountain to conduct guerrilla warfare and sports warfare with the little devils!
This is our home turf!
It is difficult for the little devils to play their strategic role in tanks, airplanes, and even other heavy weapons such as field artillery!
As long as they dare to pursue deeply, we can rely on the terrain and build a trap layer by layer!
Then use movement warfare, look for opportunities to concentrate superior forces and launch a counteroffensive!
In addition, our Tiger Regiment is not weaker than the Japanese army at all in terms of light firepower!
At that time, not to mention that there are only 100,000 little devils, even if there are 200,000, we can eat them little by little! ”
As soon as Yang Jing's words fell, a communications soldier suddenly hurriedly barged in from outside, saluted him, and said, "Tuanza, General Bai Jiansheng, acting commander of the Fifth Theater Commander's Department, is in a hurry!" ”
Yang Jing frowned, waved his hand and said, "Read!" ”
"The enemy's heavy troops are gathered in Hefei, and the troops are directed at Huoqiu, Jinzhai, as well as Mall and Huangchuan!
I hereby order your troops to stick to the defense line of Jinzhai, Huoqiu and other Dabie Mountains, and I have drawn the 28th Army Corps of Liu Ziliang's department and the 26th Group Army of Xu Yuanquan's department to rush to your troops! The signal soldier read: "Commander Bai especially reiterates that our department must hold on to Huoqiu for more than seven days to buy time for the arrival of reinforcements!" ”
Rake Ear said with some indignation: "The old man is treating our tiger group as a firefighting team, where is the danger, put us inside!"
The same is true of Songjiang and the same is true of Kunshan! This was the case in the Xuzhou battlefield later, and it is still the case now! ”
Yang Jing raised his hand to stop him and said, "Rake your ears, be cautious!" As I said, my brothers from the Tiger Ben Regiment joined the army to fight against Japan and fight devils, in order to protect their families, defend the country, and open peace, and for the dignity of our Chinese nation!
So that our children and grandchildren can stand proudly on top of this world, can hold their heads high, and proudly introduce to others that Lao Tzu is Chinese!
And not for the sake of pleasure and promotion and wealth!
The more we go to the top of the dangerous place, the more important we are!
At the same time, it can also reduce the pressure on other friendly troops, isn't this the fundamental meaning of the existence of my Tiger Regiment? ”
Rake the ears and say no more.
Yang Jing said again: "Since Chief Bai already has operational deployments, let's discuss the specific defense deployments first!" ”
As he spoke, Yang Jing turned his head to look at the communication soldier again, and ordered: "By the way, you call back to Chief Bai immediately, and say that my Tiger Ben Regiment will definitely hold Huoqiu and Jinzhai for more than seven days!" ”
"Yes!"
The signal soldier stood up and saluted, and immediately turned to leave.
And Yang Jing began to formulate defense for each battalion.
After recruiting new recruits for the Tiger Regiment.
The 4 main battalions, as well as the artillery battalion and the baggage battalion, were restored to the size of 1500.
The strength of the supplementary battalion also reached 1,200 people.
300 people in the reconnaissance company, 300 in the cavalry company, 300 in the guard company, and 150 in the sharpshooter company.
The special operations brigade has also been replenished and restored to a full strength of more than 120 people.
Together with the newly formed communications company and a garrison for the field hospital, the total strength of the division was nearly 12,000 men.
To stick to Jinzhai, the people must be evacuated.
Otherwise, when the time comes, the little devil soldiers will come to the city and surround Jinzhai County.
When the war begins, the casualties of innocent people will be very heavy.
Therefore, Yang Jing ordered Wang Dali and Bi Yuntao to lead the 1st battalion to evacuate the people in the city and lead them to move to the mountains for temporary shelter.
The rest of the ministries were left to build fortifications.
At the same time, a group of able-bodied men were also recruited from among the people to stay behind to help build fortifications.
The people had to be evacuated, and Kawashima Yoshiko naturally could no longer lurk in the city.
In order to avoid being exposed, she had to follow the people out of the city and take refuge in the mountains.
Before leaving, he sent the news that the Tiger Bentuan might have to stick to Jinzhai County to Okamura Ningci, who was far away in Hefei.
At this time, Okamura Ningji's 100,000 troops had basically been assembled, and all that was left was the logistics supply troops, and various strategic materials were still being transported over in a steady stream.
I learned that the Tiger Ben Regiment not only did not escape, but also had to stick to Jinzhai County.
This made Okamura Ninji very happy.
At this time, the Japanese troops gathered in Hefei included the 6th Division, the 13th Division, the 101st Division, and the 106th Division, plus the 14th Brigade and Regiment that were independently mixed.
The total number of troops is nearly 110,000!
It is worth mentioning that due to the successive defeats in the battles of Fuyang and Funan, and Gu Shoufu's advanced age, he was transferred back to the base camp.
In the Home Defense Force, he held an idle position as commander of the Central Army.
The division commander of the 6th Division was succeeded by Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba, the brigade commander of the former 4th Brigade of the Kwantung Army and the principal of the Cavalry School.
In order to seize the opportunity to annihilate the Tiger Ben Regiment in Jinzhai County and win this immortal feat, Okamura Ningji immediately ordered the 6th, 101st, and 106th divisions, totaling more than 70,000 troops, to quickly dispatch out of Hefei and Lu'an, and directly attack Huoqiu County and Jinzhai County.
At the same time, the 13th Division was dispatched to raid Gushi and Mall, strategically cut off the westward retreat of the Tiger Regiment, and surrounded the Tiger Regiment in Jinzhai County, gathering and annihilating it in one fell swoop!
This time, Okamura Ninji sent almost all the troops that could be mobilized, leaving only an independent mixed 14th Brigade in Hefei City in case of emergency.
Although the arrogant Okamura Ninji doesn't think much of Yang Jing and the Tiger Bentuan, he thinks that the Tiger Bentuan is powerful, compared to other China. The army is not much stronger.
But after all, the Tiger Ben Regiment is already famous, as long as they can be annihilated, they can achieve their own fame and make him a national hero of the Yamato nation.
became a celebrity in front of His Majesty the Emperor, so Okamura Ninji, an old devil, went all out as soon as he made a move.
He wants to win the battle of the Tiger Annihilation Regiment to prove himself and realize his ambitions and aspirations!
As for the New Fourth Army, it was completely out of his consideration, and it was naturally good to be able to annihilate it, and it was irrelevant if it could not be annihilated.
